What is that ?

Cars and pickups all must pass a quick check. I think it is more for safety than good operation. The one with the check engine codes was a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. I have since reset the codes using my scan gage, and the only one coming back is the catalytic converter on the left bank. I'll have to have my local mechanic replace it. I've already had the O2 sensors replaced.

"Truck" down here means pickup as everyone has one. Ours is used almost daily for hauling plants, bricks, rocks, soil, and manure to the AgriLife Extension Center Gardens. Why? Because it is a 4x4 and has a large carrying capacity that the other pickups don't have. 4x4 is needed for the road to the garden when it rains.

If you check my fuel log for the truck/pickup you'll see the poor mileage we get for this use.
